Iran Releases Journalist Convicted of Spying for U.S.

The case had threatened to complicate political maneuvering between Iranian and American leaders overIran’s nuclear program, a key point of dispute between the two nations. President Obama recently made overtures to Tehran about starting a dialogue over the nuclear program, and Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, had responded positively.

Ms. Saberi, 32, has lived in Iran since 2003 and worked as a freelance journalist for National Public Radio and the BBC. She was arrested in late January for buying a bottle of wine, which is illegal in Iran. But the charges against her escalated to working without a press card and then spying for Washington. Her press card had been revoked in 2006.

显然，我们不希望美国和伊朗坐下来谈什么。如果她不是一个间谍，是不会working without a press card的！她必然是一个间谍了。
